So the Midnight Madness Series started on Friday and I said I was going to go. I didn't go though.
Mokee and The Funk called me and asked me if I wanted to go to Jurassic to get some ice cream with them. It was about 9pm so I said sure but I have to go catch the midnight madness movie so I couldn't chill with them all night. They said coo'.
So we get to Jurassic and they get a couple of sundaes. I hadn't eaten dinner so I got a turkey sammich with melted cheddar and bacon strips. mmm mmm good.
So after we eat they say they want to watch a movie. So I'm all like "that's perfect 'cause i'm going to see the Midnight Madness movie" and they are like, "what movie is playing" and i'm like, "some documentary on that band Wilco" and they are like, "who?" and i'm like, "wilco" and they are like, "who?" and I am like, "you know, that band wilco" and they are like, "lame"
So I didn't really mind that they didn't like the idea of seeing a documentary on a band that they didn't know. I wasn't really into it either but it was the first movie in the Midnight Madness series and I just wanted to see it for that reason alone.
So then Mokee is all like, "I want to see 28 Days Later" and I'm all like "damn that movie has zombies in it." I love zombies and zombie movies. And she was all like, "you are going with me to see this movie" and I'm all like "i am going to see the midnight madness movie" and she was like "no you are not" and I was like "yes i am" and she was like "i'm going to throw a fit if you don't go" so I was like "fine I'll go watch it tomorrow night"
So we went to see 28 Days Later at the Union Landing Century Theaters. This is the theater/hang out spot for all of the Fremont area teenagers. They swarm on this place every weekend. So we got there early and got good seats. As the theater filled in we knew we were going to have trouble. The theater was filled with loud, annoying teens. They were totally more interested in being annoying than watching a movie so we knew the movie watching experience would suck.
The movie was to start at 10:35. At 10:37 the movie hadn't started yet and there was a commotion. This older dude, probably in his early 40's, got out of his chair and started muttering something. He was in the crappy front seats down at the bottom but he was making his way up to the stadium seats. He was cussing up a storm by the time he walked past us. Stuff about the movie not starting yet.
So near the top of the seats he walks to the middle of the row. Now understand that this was a full house with not one empty seat. When he gets to the middle of the row he starts to climb over the seats, and people in them, all the way to the very back. When he gets to the very back he climbs up on the back of the seat, with people sitting in them, and grabs a hold of one of the little openings that they have in the projector room. He pulls himself up and sticks his head in and starts cussing up a storm, "you motherfuckers better start this motherfucking movie or else i'm going to motherfucking kill your motherfucking asses!" He said motherfucker a lot yo!
So after going off for about 2 minutes, which is actually a long time he climbs back down and starts walking down to his seat. Every few steps he stops, turns around, points his finger at the projection room and starts demanding that they start the movie. When he gets back down to the crappy seat section he gets right in the middle and unleashes another obscenety laced tirade. This guy completely lost his marbles. It was funny and yet annoying at the same time.
He sat in his seat right before security came running into the theater. They were scrambling all around trying to find the cause of the reported disturbance. Then Mokee pointed at the dude and said, "that's him right there, he's the one" and by that time the cops where there and they snagged the dude. It turned out that the dude had brought his son to the movies with him and the son had to go too because he didn't have a ride home. As they were leading the old dude out he stopped and yelled out "SET THE THEATER ON FIRE!" I think he was trying to be all political and play homage to the "you can't shout "fire" in a crowded theater" saying that we always here whenever there is a discussion on freedom of speech.
I'll have to tell you about Saturday and Sunday tomorrow. I'm a sleepy monkey right now.
*****
I forgot to add that there was exposed male wiener in the movie. The kids in the theater coudln't handle it and went crazy. American audiences can watch people being blown to bits, hacked to death, raped, robbed, and beaten but don't show them a naked male wiener. They just can't handle that!.
